So I went back to the zoo last Sunday, this time with Lam Dai. I went back primarily to take some pictures of the animals for O’s first-grade class. They emailed me a bunch of additional questions – which I have been remiss in not answering yet on the other blog – and specifically asked [...]

The above is a video of our next-door neighbor’s 20-year-old dog. He does exactly what he’s doing in the above video – which is lie on our neighbor’s porch and bark – all day long. There’s almost constant background noise of this dark barking. Before we even moved into the new office, Tim and I [...]

So Tim has signed us up for a triathlon in Phuket, Thailand on December 2, 2007. Thankfully, it is only a sprint distance triathlon, in which you swim 750 meters (.46 miles), bike 20 kilometers (12.4 miles), and run 5 kilometers (3.2 miles). I have only done one other triathlon – which was a full, [...]

[Update: Not as ugly as I feared. Ole Miss did lose, but only by 6 points. Florida was up by a lot more than that, but Ole Miss kept catching up and it tool a Florida interception of an Ole Miss pass to finally put Ole Miss out of it. Georgia beat Bama in overtime; [...]

I just got off of a webcam call with my sister and her family – the first time I got to see HHH live and direct instead of via still photos.  He is so cute!  I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time I was looking at him – he is so fat and cute you [...]

[Warning:  Longest Blog Post In the History of Mankind] Some of you know that in August 1996, between taking the bar exam and starting work as an attorney, I spent about three-and-a-half weeks in India.  It was supposed to be a six-week trip, but I got extremely sick about three weeks in and had to [...]

Yesterday (Friday), when it was time to head to my tiếng Việt class, it was raining really hard and I almost bagged it.  I am glad that I didn’t though!  Our class already shrunk from 11 or 12 students at the beginning to around 7 students now – this damn language is just too hard [...]

Yesterday Tim and I went to a press conference for a new gym chain launching in Vietnam in December – California Wow! – which was replete with a dance squad from Thailand, a yoga performance by Master Kamal (!):   , etc.)  I think California Wow! is being started by the same guys who started [...]

I’ve started to get a feel for the neighborhood around our new office.  I was very happy to find out that there’s a nice juice bar right around the corner from our office – about a 2 minute walk.  And the best thing is they deliver!  So I’ve started drinking a smoothie and a shot [...]

Hugh Henry AKA “Baby Noodle” was born yesterday (Tuesday, September 18th) at 7:47am.  He weighed 9 lbs., 2 oz. – bigger than both of his older siblings were at birth!  As you can tell from the above photo, A and J have had yet another good-looking baby.  He looks a lot like O did at [...]
